And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be bom.-— . And they said unto him. In Bethlehem of Judea; for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, the land of Juda; are not the least among the princes of Juda, for out of thee shall came a Governor, that shall rule my people of Israel Then Herod, when he had privily called the Wise men, en quired of them diligently what time the star appeared.— >3IRM/W!
